About the command-line tools

A good CLI tool saves hours: what takes ten clicks in a UI is one command in the terminal. Recent years brought a command-line renaissance — modern replacements of classic utilities are faster, friendlier, and frankly prettier than their ancestors.

Collected here are command-line utilities for every occasion, from file wrangling to DevOps. Most install with a single command; the descriptions explain how each improves on the standard tool it replaces.
